Part-time bodyguard

Chapter 424: Dharavi Melee

Cui Jian pushed the door open, crouched in front of Bloody Mary, and while on guard, he grabbed her hair and took a look. Oh, it was indeed Bloody Mary, an old friend who was not very familiar to her.

Three years ago, Cui Jian first met Bloody Mary in Poland. He was ambushing the target, and Bloody Mary disguised herself as a waiter and killed a local white boss in the room where the target was. Bloody Mary escaped successfully, but Cui Jian was trapped instead.

I never thought that we would meet again after we were separated by the Yin and Yang.

Cui Jian let go, and Mary's head hit the concrete floor. Cui Jian hid himself, preparing to use the corpse to set up an ambush. From his point of view, there was at least one more killer. He didn't know that the black woman and the black man had already evacuated the scrap company.

After waiting for ten minutes without any movement, Cui Jian used a bamboo pole to extend the camera out of the window while watching the image on the tablet. He found bloodstains and footrests on the west wall. He guessed that it was the black man's partner who took him away.

Cui Jian went downstairs while being on guard and found half a burnt hard carpet in the garbage dump. He threw the carpet against the southwest wall like casting a fishing net, which was the place where Duanmu climbed over the wall.

Merck was watching the video from the drone, and saw Cui Jian hiding and on guard for three minutes after he was ready. In other words, if someone was attracted by the noise of him throwing the carpet, then this person would basically have confessed.

Extending the bamboo pole of the monitor, Cui Jian looked at the situation at the ceramic factory. Seeing the collapsed jars and pots below, he couldn't help but despise Duanmu in his heart.

Even so, Cui Jian did not climb over the wall. He placed a bamboo pole monitor on the top of the wall to observe the situation in the ceramic factory, while he retreated into the building to keep watch.

Xingye said impatiently: "Bodyguards are bodyguards, they are timid."

"Idiot." Everyone in the command center cursed in their hearts.

Merck was also a little uneasy. Cui Jian had been delaying for too long, so he said, "Let the police intervene in the scrap company." He had to be kicked out.

Merck's move worked. When the police entered through the front door, Cui Jian climbed over the wall and reached the ceramics factory or the pottery factory. Cui Jian couldn't tell the difference because there were both ceramics and pottery jars on the open space. After groping for a while, he realized that the two factories were not separated by walls. Each had independent factory buildings, but shared some facilities and open space.

According to the map, Cui Jian had to climb over the northwest wall and enter an alley. Cui Jian observed the wall from inside the factory and found that it was only two meters high and there were no broken glass pieces, and there was no sign of anyone climbing over it. At the same time, Cui Jian also obtained another piece of information: the alley past the wall should be more than three meters high, otherwise there should be anti-climbing measures.

Duanmu's voice came: "I'm blocked."

Duanmu was near the cow statue, but there were five police cars parked near the cow statue and many suspicious people wandering around. He wanted to bypass the cow statue, but he was very unfamiliar with the local terrain. He circled the maze-like residential area twice, but either it was a dead end or he could not find another exit.

Duanmu composed a picture in his mind. The cow statue was in the middle of the main street. A few hundred meters to the west was the Karen Leather Factory. Arriving at the entrance of the leather factory, walking 300 meters south was the destination, the tire retreading factory. So he should go southwest. Duanmu was now in the residential area in the southwest. The buildings here were all dilapidated, and there were many people. He had to keep moving sideways to avoid them. His dress was very eye-catching. If he dared to stay for a few seconds, he would be looked at unkindly by the people nearby.

Duanmu had no better way to go out or around, so he could only keep walking in this residential area. Fortunately, the alley was not wide, there were many places on the second floor to dry clothes, and many shops on the first floor had awnings. In addition, he was camouflaged, so the drone did not find him.

Cui Jian responded: "Catch a local, give him money, and ask him to take you out."

Duanmu said: "There are gangs here." The implication is that if you give them money, they will rob you in return.

Sometimes the lower class people band together not to fight for their own interests, but also to exploit them. There are many local gangs in the residential areas of Dharavi, and they are divided into different areas. Part of the gangs' income comes from water and electricity fees. Although they don't produce water, they can cut off your water supply.

Later, a contracting system was formed. For example, if the original price of electricity was 10 cents, the gang would sell it for 20 cents. Also, because the government has provided a lot of assistance to Dharavi, the water and electricity bills in the slums are not higher than those in the main city.

Generally speaking, local gangs don't rob people, after all, they are all locals, but they often bully men and women and extort businesses. If a gang finds out that there is a fat sheep in their territory, they will definitely be tempted.

Cui Jian stopped wasting time and turned into the alley and followed the map in his mind. He also entered this slum. Turning left and right, about ten minutes later, Cui Jian walked out of the alley and found the tire retreading factory across the street.

Merck: “He came out.”

Merck: “He’s back in there.”

Merck: "He's lost, idiot." He finally got the chance to curse, he was really suppressed in every confrontation and felt aggrieved.

Cui Jian saw the tire retreading factory, turned around and went back to the alley, saying, "I saw the tire retreading factory."

Duanmu: "Fuck, I'm near a small store called Axiang Store."

Cui Jian said as he walked, "I didn't see Ah Xiang's store on the way here."

Duanmu asked, "Have you climbed the stairs?"

Cui Jian replied: "No, I went down a step and walked to the edge of a pond that looked like ink." There was a spring there, forming a pond where many women were washing clothes. The spring was not big, the flow was not fast, and the pond was black overall.

Cui Jian sat down on a bench next to an old man who was weaving bamboo curtains with bamboo strips. Cui Jian lit a cigarette for the old man and gestured to show that he was very interested in his craft. The old man nodded and concentrated on his work. Cui Jian looked into the small shop, which was filled with various bamboo products and raw materials.

Cui Jian: "I am at the door of an old man's bamboo weaving shop. There are rare shop steps here. It seems that all the businesses on this street are handicrafts."

A woman came out, took a small bamboo chair, and said in broken English: "This is more comfortable."

The chair was low, but it had a backrest, and it felt different after sitting down. Cui Jian thanked her and asked, "Sister, do you know where Ah Xiang's store is?"

The woman was a little surprised: "Why did you go to Ah Xiang's store?"

Cui Jian heard something wrong and asked, "What's wrong?"

The woman said, "There are a lot of idle people near Ah Xiang's store. They have weapons in their hands and are very dangerous. Don't provoke them."

The local gangs in this slum also have foreign business, and they are responsible for the security of a large disco near the bull statue. This disco radiates four slum residential areas. Although the consumption is not high, there are a lot of people. Many people take the opportunity to do extraordinary transactions in it. There are even flour merchants who set this disco as a fixed trading location.

The disco security team was made up of thugs from local gangs and flour merchants. Ah Xiang was the girlfriend of the head of the local gang's disco department. Therefore, local gangs and the security team would often shop at Ah Xiang's store and would gather nearby on a daily basis.

The woman could tell at a glance that Cui Jian was not a local, not even a native, so she did not recommend Cui Jian to go.

At this time, a gunfight broke out near A Xiang's store.

Because Cui Jian got lost, Merck suspected that Duanmu was also lost, so he sent two teams into the slums. The leaders of the two teams were both Indians, and they did not dare to bring guns and could only carry weapons such as pistols. The two team leaders acted separately, using their advantages to ask the locals, and actually found someone who had seen Duanmu. Of course, the locals only said that he was a very strange person. Because Duanmu was very strange, he quickly attracted the attention of people near A Xiang's store. When Duanmu passed the store for the third time, two strong men blocked his way.

There is no need to describe the process, anyway, they started fighting after a disagreement. Duanmu knocked down two people, and the gang members who were watching the excitement nearby rushed over. Duanmu pulled out his gun to force them back, and then a fool appeared, pulled open his clothes and let Duanmu shoot him in the chest. I don't know if he was really stupid, or he thought that the gun in Duanmu's hand was fake.

At this time, the flour security team also came. Some of them had guns in their hands. They surrounded Duanmu and ordered him to put down his gun.

This was a cross alley, located at a high position, and Duanmu was also taller. When he turned around, he saw a group of mercenaries coming up the gentle slope. The two sides made eye contact and knew they were the right people.

Duanmu thought of a clever idea and said viciously: "My boss is here, you are dead."

Everyone looked down the slope and saw four gangsters pulling out their guns. They didn't care about the lives of others. They shouted, advanced, and shot. Duanmu flashed into Axiang's store. The gang members on the side of the slope scattered, and many were killed on the spot. Two people from the security team drew their guns to fight. Unfortunately, they had no actual combat experience. They stood on the spot and drew their guns. As soon as they pulled out the guns, their bodies were shot with more than a dozen holes.

The criminals approached the store in a tactical formation. Suddenly, a window on the second floor of the side opened, and a man shot and killed a criminal. The other three criminals fought back and shot and killed the man who did not use the cover. Then more windows were pushed open, and the three criminals retreated to the pancake shop opposite the store to call for reinforcements, and also started a gun battle with the other side.

Duanmu ambushed and killed a gangster in a small shop, and he wanted to take the opportunity to escape. Unexpectedly, the second group of gangsters arrived quickly and killed two security team men as soon as they appeared. The two sides were in a full-scale exchange of fire.

The security team had more than 30 people, and they all lived nearby because they had to protect the flour warehouse. After the two sides started fighting, the security team had the advantage of terrain and numbers, but they had no tactical advantage, their shooting accuracy was not high, they had no sense of cover, and they were pure novice shooters.

Although there are fewer people in the gang, they are all killers who kill without shedding blood and are very proficient in using firearms.

One reason the security team didn't collapse was that they thought the gangsters were here to rob flour, so they would rather die than retreat. Duanmu effectively contained the gangsters. The security team believed that Duanmu in A Xiang's store was one of their own, and when the gangsters attacked the store, they would try their best to intercept them, and one gangster was beaten to death on the road.

The battle situation was at a stalemate, and all three parties mobilized people.

Duanmu's reinforcement Cui Jian first ran into the supporting gang. When the two sides met, the other side was focused on rushing to the battlefield. Cui Jian saw through their identities at a glance, immediately drew his gun and shot two people in the head from a distance of two meters, then knocked them down and shot them again. Four kills in five seconds, after killing them, Cui Jian temporarily cut a piece of cloth from the gangster and covered his face.

This thing is called a fig leaf. In the absence of surveillance and with a good lawyer, he is not afraid of being identified by residents.

Cui Jian's second wave of attacks targeted the security death squad. Four men were preparing to attack the bakery thieves in a roundabout way, but they ran into Cui Jian first. One man was very unprofessional, with his finger on the trigger with the safety off. Seeing Cui Jian startled, the pistol went off accidentally, killing one of his companions.

The bakery thugs did not recognize the disguised Cui Jian at first, and thought that reinforcements had arrived. They immediately killed the four men inside and outside the bakery, and provided covering fire on the second floor, and led Cui Jian into the bakery.

After Cui Jian entered the bakery, the team leader stretched out his hand to shake hands with Cui Jian. Cui Jian shot him in the head with both hands, then killed three gangsters in three seconds, dodged to the side, and fought with the last gangster in the store.

Duanmu, who received the news from Cui Jian, surrounded the criminal and shot him dead from behind.

As soon as the two sides met up and had no time to speak, another person came up from the slope and they ran away.

At this time, a truck stopped at the intersection of the tire retreading factory alley, and a dozen masked flour merchant gunmen rushed into the alley and surrounded the convenience store.

With A Xiang's store as the center, the surrounding area was filled with constant gunfire, and people were constantly performing stunts and jumping from one building to another, making the scene very lively.

Upon hearing about the heavy losses, Merck judged that the Knights' mercenaries had joined the battle to protect Duanmu, and immediately ordered: "Airborne."

Two helicopters carried armed criminals to A Xiang's store. They hovered over the area and lowered ropes. The fully armed criminals slid down the ropes to the roof of the residential building. Unlike the previous criminals, the main weapons of these two teams were submachine guns.

……

Cui Jian led the way, passing a store, and a strong man hiding by the door suddenly rushed towards him with a kitchen knife. Cui Jian kept both hands on the gun, turned his wrist and shot the man five times in a row, killing him in front of him. Duanmu also pulled the trigger and shot the young man who was throwing stones from the second-floor window.

"Somalia?" Cui Jian shot down another person with two shots. In order to guard against the sudden attacks from both sides of the street at any time, he could not speed up his pace. Cui Jian asked: "Who are these people?"

Duanmu replied: "It should be a local gang."

Cui Jian was puzzled: "Why attack you?"

Duanmu replied: "They wanted to rob me, but I didn't agree. They might be unhappy because of this."

Cui Jian was speechless. Hearing the voice, he raised his head and said, "Be careful."

A beautiful girl with a sad expression threw a vase at Duanmu angrily. The distance was too close, and Duanmu couldn't dodge and was hit on the head.

Cui Jian fired, and the bullet shot through the window, shooting the girl in the head. While replacing a new magazine, he half-crouched and stepped back to Duanmu: "How is it?" He had to keep an eye on the front and didn't dare to spend time to check Duanmu's injuries.

"Your head is broken." Duanmu supported Cui Jian's shoulders and stood up. He swept the blood flowing to his eyes aside and said, "Keep going."

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of dense gunshots came from behind him. Cui Jian said, "It's an MP5. Run."

Cui Jian ran in front, Duanmu followed behind, the two of them shuttled through the alley, knocking many people away, and passers-by screamed and dodged. There was also a more special person, a man sitting on a stone pier smoking, with one hand behind his back, his eyes glaring at the two men with a vicious look.

When Cui Jian approached, he took the initiative to hit his body. The man's dagger missed and was knocked to the ground by Cui Jian's shoulder. Cui Jian had already passed by, and Duanmu shot him on the ground again and followed Cui Jian.

Duanmu said: "There is a drone overhead." He was so confident that he flew at an altitude of 20 meters.

Cui Jian said: "I am more concerned about the armed criminals chasing me from behind." He knocked down a woman, causing many eggs in her basket to break. Cui Jian took out US dollars with his left hand and threw them to the ground casually, and suddenly he got an inspiration.

Four fully armed pursuers followed in pursuit under the guidance of a drone. The local gang members were unable to cause any harm to them, and there were almost no people who could intercept them. In addition, Cui Jian had cleared the way in advance, which resulted in them getting closer and closer to Cui Jian and Duanmu.

Then they saw a large number of residents blocking the way. This alley was 1.2 meters wide and was the only way to the tire retreading factory. The ground was full of US dollars, and people rushed to pick them up. More residents came from behind and on both sides like a tide, squeezing the four armed gangsters so that they could not move.

The drone followed Cui Jian and Duanmu and watched them enter the tire retreading factory.
